The global cooking robots market is estimated to witness a robust growth rate of over 15% over the period of 2019–2028. Pivotal growth factors such as rising demand for professional robots and cobots in the HoReCa segment coupled with the growing innovations and initiatives are expected to propel the market growth of global cooking robots.
Moreover, convenience is also driving the selling point of cooking robots. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for professional service robots across the food service industry on account of the benefits provided by them, such as sizeable continuous uptime of over 100,000 hours, cloud connectivity, and others. Robots are anticipated to become a crucial part of the cooking process based on their innovative features, including visual recognition, and failure prediction, among others.
Technological advancements and developments in the food industry are backing a substantial increase in robot installations over the previous years. Robots’ potential to aid the cooking process across kitchens in the food & beverage industry is supplementing the robotics market potential. Additionally, increasing food safety regulations across the industry is anticipated to drive the global cooking robot market over the coming years.
The commercial end-user segment is leading the global cooking robot market
Based on end-user, the global cooking robot market is segmented into commercial and residential. The commercial end-user segment is dominating the global market in 2022 and is further estimated to continue its dominating trend over the forecast period. In the modern competitive and highly advanced business environment, the emergence of robots in the market is becoming significant for various commercial end-user applications.
The major factors related to the emergence of robots for commercial use include reduced human interference, increased work efficiency, automatic controls over the cooking parameters, customizations according to the customer requirement, consistency, and others. The rising concerns in the commercial end-user applications for manpower & chef availability, increasing wastage of food, rising CO2 emission, and other factors have created opportunities for the global cooking robot market to develop over the forecast period.
The growing requirement for robots in the food industries globally due to increasing fast food centers, multi-cuisine restaurants, and cooking institutions in the commercial sector has significantly boosted the market. Further, the development of technologies for the food industries, including artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), has influenced market development.
Robotics-as-a-Service is gaining traction globally
The growing demand for Robotics-as-a-Service on the back across several industries is anticipated to provide substantial growth opportunities to the cooking robot market across the globe. This ever-increasing demand can be attributed to the benefit provided by RaaS, that institutions can use the service through a cloud-based subscription. Consequently, this enables the organizations to shift their CAPEX to an OPEX, allowing them to deploy innovative solutions without any capital investment.
For instance, Picnic, a company based in Seattle, provides automated food solutions without any up-front costs. Additionally, the company covers installation, delivery, and maintenance on a subscription basis. Furthermore, the company further offers continuous free hardware and software for its services.
